America has scrubbed almost every hint of religion from the public square. Prayer is gone from public schools. The Ten Commandments are taken out of courthouses. But one display of religion has been spared the axe: legislative prayer. 

Deeds, whether good or bad, must have consequences. Bad deeds must be punished.

Over a million Americans have died in wars over our nearly two-hundred-and-fifty-year history. Considering the cultural and political unrest we are dealing with currently, it may be appropriate to ask just what it was that they died to accomplish and whether we are, after all their sacrifice, at risk of losing it all. Are we now giving away that which cost them so dearly?

There has been an intentional effort underway for several decades to bring down the West. The effort is not an open, direct attack. Rather, it involves eroding the foundations of our culture, eating away at the supports, and corroding the superstructure. The attack is indirect.

President Trump and Attorney General Bondi recognize that religious liberty is foundational to all of our Constitutional freedoms, and that they are doing all they can do to protect our first freedom.

Personal autonomy is not a great moral standard, but culture treats it like it is. Although not a new idea, its increasing prevalence and the rate at which it is being used to make moral decisions brings it into the spotlight.

President Trump recently signed an executive order that prohibits federal funding from going to K-12 public schools teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) or gender issues.

The U.S. Department of Education was officially established on May 4, 1980, in the final days of the Carter administration. Conservatives have talked about putting an end to this department since the time of President Ronald Reagan.

If you're sending a kid off to college soon, have them watch this video.
